CHANDIGARH/NEW DELHI: PM Modi brought land scams allegedly involving Robert Vadra and former CM Bhupinder Singh Hooda centrestage as he cautioned voters of Haryana that Congress ’s return would bring back scams of “kharchi-parchi sarkar”, a term BJP also used in its manifesto to target the rival over allegations of corruption and land scams during its term.
“In Haryana, farmers’ land was looted, and the state was handed over to ‘dalals’ (middlemen) and ‘daamad’ (son-in-law),” Modi said referring to land deals during Hooda’s term as CM in which Vadra , husband of Congress general secretary Priyanka Vadra, is an accused.
Addressing his second poll meeting in Haryana, in Gohana in Sonipat district, PM Modi challenged Congress’s sincerity in making generous promises to farmers, saying the party had not implemented those promises in states where it was in office.
Targeting the Gandhi family, PM Modi said this “royal family” of Congress was the most corrupt family in the country, and when the high command was corrupt, it gave a free licence for looting at the lower levels. The PM also attacked Congress over “internal feud” in the party, widely seen as a reference to former Union minister Kumari Selja’s sulk over the prominence bestowed on Hooda, her factional rival, and cautioned voters that similar intra-party feuds had paralysed Congress govts in Rajasthan and Karnataka.
PM Modi said voting for Congress would mean putting Haryana’s development at risk. He also said if Congress came to office, no new investor would come to Haryana, and there would be no jobs for youngsters in the state.
The rally at Gohana saw a large crowd, leading Union education minister Dharmendra Pradhan to attribute the turnout to the PM’s appeal.
Slamming Congress for its “anti-reservation stance,” the PM said opposing quota was in the party’s DNA and emphasised that BJP had uplifted marginalised and backward communities in Haryana. He said BJP appointed Nayab Saini, a member of OBC community and the son of a farmer-labourer, as CM.
He assured that if BJP returned to office in the state, new job opportunities would be created for the youth. He highlighted the potential of the Sonipat-Panipat belt, which he said was brimming with opportunities.
